Move The Crowd Lyrics - Rakim

Standing by the speaker, suddenly I had this 

Fever, was it me or either summer madness 

'Cause I just can't stand around 

So I get closer and the closer I get, the better it sound 

My mind starts to activate, rhymes collaborate 

'Cause when I heard the beat, I just had to make 

Something from the top of my head 

So I fell into the groove of the wax and I said 

How could I move the crowd 

First of all, ain't no mistakes allowed 

Here's the instruction, put it together 

It simple ain't it but quite clever 

Some of you been trying to write rhymes for years 

But weak ideas irritate my ears 

Is this the best that you can make? 

'Cause if not and you got more, I'll wait 

But don't make me wait too long 'cause I'm a move on 

The dance floor when they put something smooth on 

So turn up the bass, it's better when it's loud 

'Cause I like to move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Rock, rock, rock 

Rock, rock, rock 

Rock, rock, rock 

Imagine me with the heat that's made by solar 

It gets stronger every time I hold a 

Microphone, check the tone to get started 

The line for the microphone is departed 

So leave it up to me, my DJ is mixing 

Everyone is moving or eager to listen 

Your hands in the air, your mouth, shut 

'Cause I'm on the mic and Eric B is on the cut 

For those that know me, indeed I like to flow 

Especially when the music's going slow 

It gives me a chance to let everybody know 

It's time to bust out the Rakim show 

I'm the intelligent wise on the mic I will rise 

Right in front of your eyes 'cause I am a surprise 

So I'ma let my knowledge be born to a perfection 

All praise due to Allah and that's a blessing 

With knowledge of self, there's nothing I can't solve 

At 360 degrees, I revolve 

This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven 

Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep moving 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd, move the crowd 

Move the crowd
